johnnyt Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I just bought an EZIO8SA and PLM combo to replace some IOLincs. I was able to link it to ISY and am able to turn relays on and off no problem but a query does not work. With the event viewer at level 3 there is NOTHING sent out when I do a query. I did find/read the post related to the ISY status not being updated at viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12405 but the query worked in that case. My problem is the opposite of that: the status works fine but the query doesn't. I downloaded the smartenit utility but there are no instructions in the download or online on how to connect the PLM so the utility can communicate with it. It means that for the moment I can't find anything out about the PLM around firmware version, etc. to do some of the troubleshooting steps suggested in the other post. FWIW, a smarthome forum post on this subject indicates I'm not the only one who's come across this and seems to indicate that I will need a special cable that did not come with the kit and that I don't have. I contacted support@smartenit.com about this but thought I would mention it here in case someone can help on this front. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
LeeG Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Right click the Primary EZIO8SA node which is Relay 1. The Query response will be for all EZIO8SA nodes. Be sure Inputs 5&6 are connected to EZIO8ASA Gnd. This is necessary to keep those Inputs from cycling if not connected to something. Is this a new EZIO8SA/PLM combination from Simplehomenet/Smartenit? If the PLM was in the original PLM container the serial cable is inside the white cardboard filler inside the box.

I was querying nodes 2 and 3 for my testing. Querying node 1 DOES send a command out but I only got a response back for node 1.

LeeG Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 The first command (4F 02) is asking for the state of ALL relays. The result is a bit map (01) with each bit showing the On/Off status of its respective relay. Relay 1 bit is On indicating relay 1 is On. The other relays are Off. Same with the second command (49 00). All Inputs are checked with the results returned as a bit map of which Inputs are On. Inputs 5&6 are On (30), the result of connecting them to Gnd.

Remove the white cardboard filler and look inside both folds. The cable may have been removed because it was not needed for this situation. A spare cable can be ordered from Simplehomenet/Smartenit.
johnnyt Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks so much for the insight, LeeG. This will be so much more efficient than querying 8 IOLincs individually or as part of a scene given that each query of an IOLinc returns an individual response for both the relay and the sensor in the IO Linc (16 response messages instead of one). I wish I would have known about this product sooner and am so glad it's working out of the box.
